2. Remove the stock gauges and clear lens from the gauge housing. There are nine (9) mounting
locations, illustrated by arrows below.
4. This system comes with two options for the turn signals. You can either have arrows located in the
faceplate of your new VHX display, and/or arrows in your vehicle’s stock turn signal locations. To
use the new faceplate arrows, follow the wiring instructions for the turn signals found in the main
VHX manual.
To optionally use the stock turn signal arrows, do not wire the turn signals to the VHX control box.
Instead, use the two provided two-wire harnesses. The harnesses plug directly into connectors on
the back side of your new VHX system. Connect the wires from these harnesses to your turn signal
circuit and ground as shown below. Doing this will light green LED bulbs, located in the original
locations of your dash panel, when turn signals are active. Make sure to check left and right to verify
they are wired correctly.
3. Mount the VHX displays into the housing using the stock hardware.
